I get those and then test once more a few hours later and BOOM it's darker than the control so in my opinion you're like a couple hours away from a + or you could be right after a +. It's not light enough to be considered negative

Thanks. I've had another one that looks like this today. I've got one more test to do tomorrow too.

I really hope we manage this month. I'm trying to be optimistic but I know in reality it probably won't happen that quickly.

The waiting is going to kill me.

I'm not even sure if I do ovulate yet because I have been on the contraceptive patch for 18 months and there's contradicting info some people seem to think it's gone immediately and others think it can take a few months.

I have been getting some minor cramps, and a sharp shooting pain in my vagina (TMI) 3 times over the last 3 days so I'm wondering if they might be promising signs.

I also keep getting dizzy when I stand up and I've had a terrible headache (it seems to start in my eye sockets) for the last 3 days but I'm putting that down to heat at the minute.

Because I don't know what my natural cycle is yet I'm going to wait a full 4-5 weeks before testing and we'll see what happens.

This is today's test. I still think it's a little lighter but it's still fairly dark

I completely understand! I was on the bcp for 13years! and when I got off of it my cycles brought new surprises each month until about month 6 then it seemed to level out and my symptoms have been pretty much the same each month. but, yes I would pay attention to every little thing, gassy, bowel movements, headaches, cramps, back pain EVERYTHING lol..

I do not chart, I feel like it just stressed me out more but, I do use OPKs and check CM and CP. we typically BD EOD even before TTC so fx that my BFP is coming soon!

Mine are looking like this still. I am counting them as +. Last cycle I never got a complete positive, only close. I had O confirmed by temping, so It is possibe my LH surge isnt very high still. BC has messed me up quite a bit. I'll keep taking them until I get CHs on my chart.
